plied so as to leave the decoration in reserve. The decoration, 
which is elaborate and finely drawn, consists of leafless white

the vase is undoubtedly not earlier than the K’ang-hsi period, 
and probably as late as Ch’ien-lung (1736-1795). 

Note.—In cataloguing this vase, it was discovered that the surface inside 
of the mouth and neck was coated with white paint to resemble glaze, which, 
when removed, exposed considerable repairs and restoration. Since it was 


catalogued the vase has received the attention of a Japanese expert repairer, 
and will be sold as being imperfect.

GREEK TERRA-COTTAS 


(Procured by Mr. Borden from the late Henri de Morgan, an- 
tiquarian, whose manuscript descriptions have been followed in this 
Catalogue.) 


495 


Third century B.C. At the foot of a rock, the surface of which is 
covered with plants, a warrior is defending himself against the 
attack of a female panther which has surprised him. Back of the 
warrior a young girl is seated on the ground. She does not seem 
to be very much frightened by the attack. Her left hand is 
raised more to restrain the warrior than to solicit his protection, 
or as an evidence of fright. What is the subject? Greek myth- 
ology offers no clue, but we know that the architecture of a 
certain date used to give to the people of a preceding time their 
own customs. In all likelihood the group is Thetis and Peleus. 
As Thetis the Nereid was doomed to marry a mortal, she called 
the wild beast to her rescue. -

ee Aon TE AND Eros 


Terra-cotta group found near Smyrna. (Asia Minor.) Van 
Lennep collection. Standing by a stone column over which hangs 
a piece of drapery, the goddess is slightly bent forward watching 
with deep attention a young Eros who is extracting a thorn 
from her foot. The young god is kneeling, his little wings 
spreading upward. The expression of his face is very tender. 
The goddess wears a head-dress, a band and wreath of leaves. In 
her right hand she holds an apple and in her left her himation. 
The modeling of the group is most delicate and full of life. 
On the bodies are traces of the original flesh color. The rock 
was gray, the himation pink and the hair auburn. Period, 
Fourth century B.C. 
Illustrated. 
VS? 497—THatia 
Terra-cotta figurine from Cyme, Asia Minor. Compare with 
Lecuyer Plate, C. 2. ‘The figure is standing. Her left arm is 
resting on the top of a square column from which draperies thang. 
Her right hand holds a tragic mask. Her head 
is bare and her hair is auburn. The drapery is 
white and pink. The style is very simple and 
noble. Period, Fourth century B.C. 


498—Tuer Tanacrian at THE Fountain 

,o Fourth century B.C. She stands in a modest 
IX (6 = and graceful attitude, her left hand resting on 
the top of a fountain from which water is run- 
ning. With her right hand she pulls in front 
of her breast the folds of her loose drapery; her 
auburn hair is tied by a gilt diadem. ‘This 
figurine, which preserves much of its original 
color, is a charming example of Greek art. 


499—Femate Ficurine 
From Tanagra (Greece). The figure is stand- 
ing, head turned to the right, and covered by 
the folds of a large white himation with a broad 
black border. The kiton or robe is pink. The 


VA S, 
"7 


whole of the body is enveloped in draperies with the exception of 
the neck, even the hands being covered by the himation, a com- 
mon occurrence to be observed in the Tanagra figurines. The 
hat is conical in shape. The hair is auburn. This is the every- 
day walking costume familiar to the Greeks. Period, Fourth 
century B.C. 

Illustrated. 


\> 500—Sratep Femate Ficurr anp Cupip 


From Greece, Fourth century B.C. On a bench a female figure 
is seated in a graceful attitude. Her body is finely modeled and 
the drapery very simple and noble. 


501—SaPpruHo 


Asia Minor, Third century B.C. Standing on a rock and holding 
her lyre, the heroine is represented at the moment that she is 
going to end the misfortune of her life. The style is dramatic 
, and the disposition of the draperies suggests the school of Per- 
gamos. Probably inspired by a large fresco. 


Illustrated. 


502—ANCOTYLE 


Fourth century B.C. This terra-cotta group represents a favor- 
ite game of the Greek in which the victor had to be carried by the 
vanquished. ‘The draperies are finely treated, and the pose is 
very graceful. ‘This same subject exists in various collections, 
as it was one very popular among the Greeks. 


503—Ecyrptian Funrerary STATUETTE 
This small figure is remarkable for the brilliancy of its blue 
enamel of the turquoise tone so much in favor among the Egyp- 


tians. It is covered with hieroglyphic inscriptions: A dedication 
of the dead to Osiris. From the vicinity of Thebes. 


504—BaccHANTE 


Silver gilt. The figure is represented seated, holding a cornu- 
copia. Beside her is a panther.

505—MEETING AT THE TompB 


pe” 


From Greece proper. A masterpiece of Greek art. Fourth 
century B.C. In the center is a sepulcher monument capped by 
the sacred symbol, the palmetto. To the right is a warrior, 
his left hand on his shield, the other on the neck of his horse. 
At the left of the stele is a woman, her knee on the ground, 
her left hand on an urn, her right placed on the monument. 
The group is intact. There are triangular openings at the 
back, which are noticeable in the Greek or Tanagra, and never 
in the Asia Minor groups. 

The late Barnett Phillips in writing on this group in Janu- 
ary, 1891, said: “There is no question that this must have 
been a copy of some past masterpiece, or that some former work 
famous throughout Greece suggested it.” 


yo 506—A Soxprer In Furtt Armor 


Third century B.C. Standing by his horse, one hand resting 
on his sword and the other on the neck of the horse. His breast- 
plate is elaborately modeled. It is a work of dignity and specially 
interesting on account of the costume. 


m 


507—Tue Baccuic Dance 


Terra-cotta group. Satyr, Bacchante and Eros. <A young 
Satyr is standing to the right covered with a panther’s skin, 
his left hand raised up and his right thrown over the back of a 
Bacchante who holds him in a similar way with her left arm. 
In her right is a tambourine resting over the head of a young 
Cupid who carries a torch. The Bacchante wears a long robe 
which makes graceful and delicate folds. Both she and the Satyr 
are crowned with ivy. From Asia Minor; period, Fourth cen- 
tury B.C. This group has many traces of the original colors, 
pink, white, gray, etc. It rests on a square high base. 


508—TuHer Movurner at THE GRAVE 


From Greece. By a square altar a female figure is leaning in a 
mournful attitude, her head bent forward on her right hand. 
She holds a lotus leaf fan of the Tanagra type decorated with 
a red palmetto. On the left of the altar is standing Eros, also 
an amphora brought as an offering to the dead. The drapery 
of the figure is most delicate. The face wears a deep expres- 
sion of sorrow. Period, Fourth century B.C. 


~\ 


509—Curyseis, Curyses AND AGAMEMNON 


Terra-cotta group from Greece, Fourth century B.C. A young 
girl is kneeling in front of an old man whom she is embracing in 
a fit of desperation. Behind her is a hoplite standing, leaning 
his right hand on the prow of a boat. This represents undoubt- 
edly the “Parting of Chryseis.”” The old man is Chryses, priest 
of Apollo, and father of the girl, the same one who plays such 
an important part in the first verses of the Iliad. Chryseis is 
draped in a double sleeveless kiton and a himation which only 
cover the lower part of her body. Her head is bent backward 
with her hair flowing. It is the finest figure in this group; the 
grief of the child who is going to part from her father is depicted 
with a warmth and feeling most effective. The old priest has a 
white beard, he is draped with a talaise kiton, and wears a cap. 


All his costume is white, the sacerdotal color. Leaning over his 
daughter, and pressing her to his heart, Chryses turns himself 
toward the captor, the mercy of whom he is imploring. This last 
one is a man in the full development brought by age. He has a 
reddish beard, his crested helmet is of Corinthian style. Under 
his breast-plate is a double row of pendants, and there appears 
a short kiton. Leaning on the prow of his boat he proudly faces 
the priest, his left arm raised as if he were speakmg. ‘There is 
a dolphin near the boat. This description is by Prof. W. Froeh-

Terra-cotta group from Greece. Fourth century B.C. On the 


|S — left of the picture is a draped female figure coming to the mar- 
al ae ket, bringing with her a child. In the center is the merchant, an 
“ old woman seated, who is waiting for the customer to make the 


purchase, while a couple of youths are engaged in a conversa- 
tion. This is a charming tableau de genre, full of life and spirit. 

The late Clarence Cook published in the “Studio” a very 
interesting notice of this group, which has been described also 
by Cartault and other writers.

Terra-cotta group from Asia Minor, Third century B.C. On the 
left of the group Omphale is seated on a rock, draped in a long 
kiton; on the right, Hercules is standing. In his right hand he 
is holding an apple. The modeling of his body is very powerful 
and in strong contrast with the graceful attitude and treatment 
of Omphale’s drapery, making as a whole a charming composi- 
tion.

“Of all the types of Euanetos represented in this hoard, the

at full length as EYAINETOY. This interesting type seems 
to be altogether unpublished. No coin with this inscription or of 
this type exists either in the National collection, or in any to 
which I have had access. A single example of this type occurred 
in the present hoard, and a phototype of it is given on Plate V, 
Figure 14. (This coin is now in Mr. H. Montagu’s cabinet.) 

“Santa Maria di Licodia, where the present hoard was dis- 
covered, corresponds approximately, at least, with the site of the 
Sikel stronghold of Inessa, that lay between Hadranum and the 
Galeatic Hybla, on the ledge of lower hills immediately below

Tue Sympor.—An altar to the Hindu 


God SIVA, the third god of the Hindu Triad, which is composed of 
BRAHMA (the Creator), VISHNU (the Preserver) and SIVA—the last 
a Sanscrit word, literally meaning “Happy” or “Auspicious.” 

The worshipers of Siva assign to him the first place, and to them he is 
not only the chief deity, but the deity which comprises in himself all other 


deities. Thus 


“Siva Pura’na” he is addressed as BRAHMA, 


VISHNU, INDRA, VARUNA, as the SUN and the MOON, as EARTH, 
FIRE, WATER and WIND. 

Siva has a thousand names by which he is addressed, such as 
MAHESWARA, “The Great Lord”; SANKARA, “The Conferrer of Hap- 
piness”; and MAHA’DEVA, “The Great God.”

(Extract from letter dated New 
York, April 25, 1896) — 


“What is definitely and authentically 
known is that it is one of three most 
interesting jewels which were brought 
from Delhi in 1895—a turban orna- 
ment, a necklace, and this emerald. 
They were procured from a very old 
Hindu merchant who had had them 
many, many years and who valued 
them on account of their association, and who never before could be pre- 
vailed upon to let them go out of his possession. They had come to him in 
the course of a business transaction with the Maharajah of Benares, who 
parted with these heirlooms in exchange for a wonderful string of pearls 
which he coveted. Beyond the mere fact that they were royal heirlooms, the 
merchant would disclose nothing, but that they possessed for him a special 
and significant charm was evident by the emotion he evinced at parting 
with them. : 

“In Birdwood’s ‘Indian Arts’ the following sentence commences a chapter 
on the engraving and encrusting of precious stones: ‘Gem engraving is an 
immemorial Eastern art, as the Cylinders of Nineveh, Babylon, and Persep- 
olis testify, and Delhi has always been famous for its practice.’ That Delhi 
may claim pre-eminence is evinced by this wonderful emerald of three hun- 
dred and eighty-seven carats, so richly engraved with characteristic Hindu 
ornament and adorned with a pear-shaped diamond inlaid in the center. 
Imagination could easily fancy for it a story more romantic even than that 
of the Kohinoor, but its history will never be told.”

586—Tue Wepewoono ‘“PorrTLANpD 
VASE”’ 


“In 1789, after nearly four years of 
arduous labor, Josiah Wedgwood com- 
pleted what is, without any manner of 
doubt, the most important single piece 
of pottery with which his name is con- 
nected—the reproduction, in Jasper 
Ware, of the so-called ‘Portland Vase.’ 
“The original, an Alexandrian glass 
cameo of the First Century B.C., was 
exhumed from a tumulus near Rome in 
1623 and fell into the hands of Maffeo 
Barberini, Pope Urban VIII, by whose 
family it was retained, and known as 
the Barberini Vase until 1784. <Ac- 
quired by Sir William Hamilton in 
that year, it was sold by him to the Duchess of Portland, at the sale of 
whose famous ‘Museum’ it was bid in by her son, the ‘third duke, for 
£1,029. It was lent by him to Wedgwood for the purpose of copying and 
some thirty years later was deposited by the fourth duke in the British 
Museum, where it is still on exhibition in the Coin Room. 

“A widely spread and curious misapprehension seems to exist regarding the 
number of copies of the vase which Wedgwood executed during his life- 
time. It is often asserted that Wedgwood made, at the very outset, fifty 
copies, which he sold by subscription, and it is customary to debate whether 
or not some particular example may lay claim to the title of being ‘one 
of the fifty.’ The facts really seem to be that Wedgwood made and sold 
by subscription no more than twenty and of these, Mr. Rathbone asserts, 
only sixteen can to-day be definitely traced by documentary evidence. But 
until his death in 1795 Wedgwood continued to produce copies, continu- 


585 


ally increasing in excellence, and for some ten or fifteen years after his 
death his son, Josiah, employing the same artists as his father, with the 
exception of Webber, produced copies which were to all intents and purposes 
the equal of those first made. Even so, however, so slow and careful were 
the processes employed that it is safe to assert that between 1789 and 1805 
no more than fifty copies in all were made. 
“It remains only to add that, as the Portland Vase reproduction is quite 
properly regarded by collectors as the most important piece of old Wedg- 
wood in existence, so the prices at which it has sold during the last sixty 
years are a curious index to the increasing estimation in which Wedgwood’s 
productions in general are held. 
“Thus in 1849 the Fulk copy was bid in by the family of that pioneer among 
Wedgwood collectors for $100, while a score of years later the copy in the 
Parnell collection sold for $865. In the early nineties W. Durning Holt’s 
copy sold for over $1,000, and less than a decade ago, in 1902, that belonging 
to the late Dr. Propert brought $2,000 at Christie’s. A copy in the Robert 
Hoe Collection sold by the American Art Association in 1910 brought $725.” 
The late W. C. Prime, authority on ceramics, after examining the Borden 
copy, wrote as follows: 
38 East 23rp Street, New York, Oct. 29, 1894. 
This Wedgwood copy of the Portland vase seems to me to be one of those 
early ones which were made after the first lot of subscription vases—of 
those there were only some twenty. It is, however, well settled that Josiah 
Wedgwood, Senior, and his son, made more or less of these copies before 
and simultaneously with and after the subscription vases. The presence of 
the impressed | under the name leads me to think this vase is after the 


subscription vases. All these issues are equally valuable.

Chinese tissue or similar transparent material, by an unknown 
German (?) artist. Mounted in an ebonized wood easel frame. 


597—F ine SAvonneRig£ Picture 
“A Man and a Maid Drinking Wine,” after David Teniers. This 
painting in woven colors is of mellow tone, rich but subdued, 
great vigor of drawing and strength of modeling. The expres- 
sion of the three figures depicted is vivid, each in its individual 
manner. In a dusky corner of a room with brownish walls a 
virile old man with strong features is seated at a heavy wooden 
table, facing the spectator but looking with a very intent gaze 
at a young woman seated at his left and in front of the narrow 
table, with whom he is in earnest and apparently gallant con- 
versation. She faces the left but inclines herself very gently 
toward him, and he has leaned forward and encompassed her 
shoulders with his left arm, while his right hand still clutches 
the tall flagon from which he has been pouring wine into the 
generous glass that she clasps in both hands. He is clad in 
golden-brown and wears a dark cap. She has a _ pinkish-white 
waist with lace about the neck, a greenish-blue skirt and blue 
apron, and wears one of the small Dutch caps of the period, 
which reveals her light hair just over the forehead. The faces 
of both are warm in hue; his a little swarthy, hers with pink 
cheeks and lips—the lips parted. Through a small window 
over their heads and behind them, of which they are regardless, 
an elderly dame is looking in, with an expression of particularly 
keen interest and a complete absence of pleasure in what she has 


discovered. 
Height, 211% inches; width, 171% inches. 


598—Larer Metrat-Workx Bown

glass which hold three silver and Favrile glass ladles to match. 
Mounted on low ebonized wood base. Made by Tiffany & Co.

601—Larcr Oup Tarrstry PAnen 


Flanders. Seventeenth century; fine point. Representing the 
“Judgment of Solomon,” as related in the First Book of the 
Kings, chapter ili, verse 25, “And the King said, Divide the 
living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.” 
The scene, with numerous figures, is centered by Solomon on his 
throne under a canopy, surrounded by princes of Israel and 
people of his kingdom, the foreground presenting the dead child 
lying supine on the tesselated marble floor, while the living child 
is held partly by the soldier, with sword ready to cleave it in 
two, and the woman who was inclined to claim it as her own. 
The background shows red and green marble columns and vistas 
of the temple in the distance, the wide border, woven (en suite) 
in fine point, involving fruit, garlands and vessels, each of the 
four corners sustaining kneeling figures, while the sides hold 
oval medallions with small allegorical figures. The upper border 
is centered by a heraldic cartouche with the sinister band of 
a “debruised” lion, in oval shield; indicating the personage for 
whom this tapestry was originally made. The lower border 
margin sustains mark F. F. (Fabrique de Flandre), with that 
of the weaver’s emblem. Period, Seventeenth century.
